Four months before ShareConnector received closure, a letter was sent from BREIN to remove all eDonkey links or the website administrators would be at risk of getting sued.
On December 14 2004, FIOD-ECD (a Dutch governmental agency) took down ShareConnector based on the concerns BREIN had.
ShareConnector's first court case took place in June 2006, and the ruling was that the anti-piracy foundation BREIN did not have enough evidence to convict the administrator or the ISP on any sort of charges.
The judge ruled that BREIN had six months to one year to come up with some evidence against the accused defendant, Adi (ShareConnector's administrator), and the ISP, The Mindlab Hosting.
Apparently, BREIN visited the owner at home to convince him to shut down ShareConnector or else they would start a civil proceeding with a claim.
